Queensland Police allege that an attending paramedic stole cash from the woman’s belongings while tending to her at her unit.

Neighbours allege they found money in the area of the incident a few days later.

The paramedic has since been charged and stood down by Queensland Ambulance Service. He will need to appear in court.
